The erasure of Luigi Mangione (substack.evancarroll.com)

Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

Headquarters seems to be:

70 White Lion Street, London, England, N1 9PP

To send all your angry letters too.

Make sure to include bullet points

Bullet points work best when using a 9mm font size.

(Approximately 25.5 pt. Now, the closest traditionally named font size is 24pt, called "double pica", and Pica Pica is the latin name for the magpie, who is known for stealing and hoarding shiny things. What does this mean??)

Someone’s been reading up since they recently became literate. Thanks Abbott!

PowerPoint is seldom used in the Mafia because of all the bullet points.

I used to live in that neighborhood. That must just be one of those places that gives people an address that looks fancy methinks

It’s a place called “Spaces” seems like companies rent a small room or so as a physical presence.

Definitely not any kind of HQ. I'd be surprised if more than one or two people go there for Stack Exchange. Mostly remote employees?
